I wrote a piece for @neuergeist 's DISARM zine, a small piece of their larger display, which starts in less than a month @godhatesrobots . In its first incarnation, DISARM was able to raise $1000+ for undocumented workers rights organizations. I was honored and privileged to have been asked to contribute! Go pick up a zine or a brick in remembrance of lives lost during border crossing. -My article is entitled "Why Nihilism is the Enemy". Keep your eyes out and go and support their gallery! Thanks again to @neuergeist
@iamconduit @kurtcoolbeans for their incredible work ❤❤ #immigrantrights#disarm#disarmzine#artdaily

I've had a recurring dream of a woman who was waiting to take me to the underworld, or elsewhere. Finding myself at my childhood home, I escaped boredom through a secret trap door in the floor of my basement room. I explore deep secret passages, cavernous tunnels, dug in some ancient time. I quickly become lost and lose track of time. Perhaps hours, days, lifetimes, pass by. Amidst a growing delirium, she appears, her candles disturbed by my sudden presence, as she made no remark at my finding out about her. Rather, her gaunt and gaze alone tells me she has been there, waiting for me, watching my every move, pre-determined to meet her now in this special moment. Will she bring pleasure or pain?
This project took 14 months from dreaming it and its conceptualization to being an abandoned piece, and I cant believe I'm lucky enough to have it displayed. It wouldn't have been possible without the art community here locally. If you saw this piece in person before now, it's likely I asked for your advice on it. Thank you to all you who helped me do it and encouraged its display! There are too many to name. I absolutely couldn't have done it on my own. I'm excited to now enter my 3rd year of oil painting!

@couchwizard666 I've traveled a lot of the country with this great man. Hope to see a lot more of it with him. I actually drew this in the van over an hour or so yesterday but reception has been in an out for me so I had to post it today. Have a good day everyone!

@despitedespair is on tour and I've only taken 2 conte pencils and a single mechanical pencil with me. Here's a sketch of our camp outside of Mesa Verde, Colorado. When we get back in about 3 weeks, I'll post some finished pieces for my upcoming galleries. For now, expect some sloppy sketches of friends and places we will visit . #art#artdaily#contepencil
